Pope Pius XII's Knowledge of Holocaust Revealed in Newly Discovered Letter

Newly discovered correspondence from the Vatican archives suggests that Pope Pius XII had detailed information about the Nazi Holocaust from a trusted German Jesuit, contradicting the Holy See's claim that it couldn't verify reports of Nazi atrocities. The letter, dated December 1942, reveals that up to 6,000 Jews and Poles were being gassed daily in German-occupied Poland. The revelation is likely to intensify the debate about Pius' legacy and his beatification campaign, with historians divided on whether he used quiet diplomacy to save Jewish lives or remained silent during the Holocaust.

"Pope Pius XII's Knowledge of Holocaust Revealed in Newly Discovered Letter"

A letter found in the Vatican archives suggests that Pope Pius XII had knowledge of the Nazi attempt to exterminate Jews in the Holocaust as early as 1942, contradicting the Holy See's previous claim that their information was vague and unverified. The letter, written by a Jesuit in the anti-Nazi resistance, detailed the killings at the Belzec camp and referenced Auschwitz and Dachau. Supporters argue that Pius worked behind the scenes to help Jews, while critics say he lacked the courage to speak out. The release of the letter demonstrates the Vatican's commitment to examining its history, as ordered by Pope Francis in 2019.
